Subject: [PATCH 3.18 033/105] i2c: xiic: Make the start and the byte count write atomic

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shubhrajyoti Datta <shubhrajyoti.datta@...inx.com>

commit ae7304c3ea28a3ba47a7a8312c76c654ef24967e upstream.

Disable interrupts while configuring the transfer and enable them back.

We have below as the programming sequence
1. start and slave address
2. byte count and stop

In some customer platform there was a lot of interrupts between 1 and 2
and after slave address (around 7 clock cyles) if 2 is not executed
then the transaction is nacked.

To fix this case make the 2 writes atomic.
